Code: Infinity [Reboot]

Chapter 26 - 'Higher' Level World? More like Higher Entertainment.

*Swish* *Swish* *Bang*

"Huh?"

The soldiers looked in confusion as Ryo walked past them, unharmed in any way, making the Mayor look at the person who was now standing less than a meter away from him in horror.

For them, it was a blink of an eye.

*Splash* *Splash* *Splash* *Splash*

While the Mayor was confused, all the soldiers who were there were instantly sliced up, making the whole place bloody.

"So you are the mayor? Huh?"

The mayor felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Ryo pointing his sword. Without any hesitation, he started to run away from Ryo, yelling with all his might. Even though he knew that he was going to die, he wanted to give it a try.

"Where do you think you are going?"

Then everything went black for him.

-

"Zzz."

As 'Ryo' and Sudou were taking a rest after the hard morning lookout, the carriage suddenly started to shake, prompting them to wake up. Sudou yawned as he jumped off the carriage and looked around to find that they had reached the Imperial City.

Although the guards eyed him warily with how he looked like a person from the West and actually wearing a hood, Ryo gave them a slight nod and slipped past them, disappearing into the teeming crowds.

As they entered the city, Ryo was amazed by the view in front of him. Looking at the Imperial City, the city was even more magnificent than he had imagined. The streets were broad and bustling with people, horses, and carts. The buildings were tall and ornate, adorned with intricate carvings and colorful tiles. The air was filled with the sounds of music and joy.

Although the streets were filled with life, the roads were very open and only a few pedestrians were walking through the roads.

What was more attractive was that he felt that the Imperial Capital had a unique feeling of mixing all the styles of old and modern things. Furthermore, his eyes were drawn by what he called a super huge castle built at the heart of the city.

Looking at the castle, 'Ryo' observed that the palace itself was built on a hill that towered nearly 200 meters high, surrounded by several white stone walls nearly 50 meters high, dividing the palace into several levels inside and outside, and completely blocking the sight from the outside of the heart of the city where all the nobles resided.

"Amazing. Right?"

Sudou, who was standing by 'Ryo''s side asked, prompting him to nod. "Yes, it's wonderful.", It was the first time in his life he saw something so big.

"Haha. That's great. I hope you 'enjoy' your journey. By the way... I am in a hurry, so can you... Umm..."

"Oh, yeah! I forgot the payment. Haha."

Laughing, Ryo's hand entered his coat, and took out a small pouch containing 35 coins. He then placed it in Sudou's hand, who began to count the amount to make sure that he was paid the right amount.

After counting the coins, he looked up and with a smile, he said, "Well, we might need to part now. hope you will find the 'fun' you wanted which you even left your hometown for. Oh by the way, there has been a huge need for soldiers in the Imperial City. I advise you to apply for it before it becomes too late."

"Yeah. Thank you for your advice. Hope we see each other again."

With that Sudou disappeared into the crowd, leaving Ryo standing in the crowd. Ryo looked at Sudou's back as he walked away and after seeing him disappearing, he observed the location for an instant and then started to walk through the street, trying to observe and understand the world better.
